"DAVID"
The Unreleased Album, RELEASE
DATE: JUNE 25, 2004 (SOLD OUT - OUT OF PRINT) CD edition
limited to 3500 individually numbered
copies the sound of David Ruffin at the height of his powers can
now be heard, 33 years later. The packaging faithfully reproduces artwork
of the era, including rare photographs, an essay detailing the sessions
and the moment, and full track annotations. It�s late 1969, Ruffin, 28
years old, begins work on a third album, with Motown producers Clay
McMurray, Johnny Bristol, Henry Cosby, Ivy Jo Hunter, Smokey Robinson and
Duke Browner. In a move that ranks high among the many Motown
mysteries, the album is never released. The performances, many of them new
compositions, are never heard again, not even as filler for future albums.

The
Great DAVID RUFFIN The Motown Solo Albums, Volume 1 RELEASE
DATE: August 26th 2005
CD Edition limited to 5000
non-numbered limited edition copies.
A must have for true fans of the GREAT
"EMOTIVE" David Ruffin
Liner Notes (partial): As co-lead vocalist
for the Temptations, David Ruffin was responsible for some of the most memorable
recordings in soul history: �My Girl,� �I Wish It Would Rain,� �(I
Know) I�m Losing You,� and �Ain�t Too Proud to Beg,� to name just a
few. For those tracks alone, his place in that history is secure. He then
embarked on a solo career � a calling he had prior to the Tempts � and
further embellished his artistic reputation. Because his solo years were as
tempestuous as his relationship with his prior bandmates, these albums have been
somewhat overlooked the pantheon of soul. Here�s a chance to readdress the
oversight and remember: he is, indeed, the great David Ruffin.
